Advanced Cybersecurity for Intercontinental Manufacturer WinGD
Exeon provided WinGD with full network visibility and AI-driven anomaly detection—seamlessly integrating IT/OT monitoring without additional hardware. Here’s how proactive threat management turned into a collaborative partnership.
WinGD’s business context
Global leader with highly secured digital and physical assets
Global business, global production, global risk
Today’s cyber risks in manufacturing encompass international and EU compliance requirements according to NIS2 and the upcoming Machinery Regulation (2027), incidents leading to production downtime, data or knowledge leakage, reputational damage and more.
can significantly increase a manufacturer's vulnerability to cyber threats.
via networked machines and production systems that regularly communicate with external networks.
to monitor all assets across network segments: internal IT networks, industrial control systems (ICS), production, and third-party connections.
How Exeon.NDR delivered value
Proof of concept
Through the proof-of-concept phase, Exeon took a full inventory of the devices and communication in WinGD’s large network to search for any blind spots and potential security gaps.
AI in action
Running Exeon.NDR on the customer’s network, the Exeon team demonstrated how the supervised and unsupervised AI algorithms efficiently work, processing and learning WinGD’s communication patterns to detect anomalies and identify threats precisely with lightweight network log data.
IT/OT visibility
Following the multi-faceted protection of WinGD’s core systems without additional hardware nor sensors, complete visibility into the intersecting IT/OT infrastructure was established.
Proactive monitoring
WinGD’s IT and security team monitor worldwide communication via one centralized dashboard, proactively detect anomalies, and benefit from ongoing support of Exeon’s local, dedicated Cyber Security Engineer.
Set for success
WinGD offers itself as an early adopter so that the Exeon engineering team can install new releases “fresh out the oven”. The collaboration with the customer’s technicians has always been very pleasant and constructive, as they provide helpful feedback on the product advancements, which are then turned into real-life optimizations.
A powerful tool for powerful outcomes
Testimonial
Over the years, WinGD’s security team has utilized Exeon.NDR to its full potential and recommends it to other manufacturing companies with distributed, international networks.
“Exeon provides us with complete visibility of our network data flows and automatically detects suspicious behavior. Thanks to their AI algorithms, we immediately identify potential cyber threats and can respond quickly and efficiently. This way, we prevent attackers from moving undetected in our systems, infiltrating the infrastructure, or bypassing existing security measures.”
